Connecticut HB05430 amends state law to clarify procedures for medical malpractice claims against the state and liability for injuries on public.

Connecticut HB05430 modifies the state's general statutes to streamline the process for medical malpractice claims against the state and to define the state's liability for injuries on public recreational lands. The bill allows the Claims Commissioner to authorize suits against the state for medical malpractice claims, waiving sovereign immunity for these claims. It also specifies that claims must be filed within one year from the date the authorization becomes effective or permission to sue is granted.
